A GROUP of students who created a sex box to help break down the parental barrier of sex education have won through to a national final.
The 11 youngsters from Prior Pursglove College, in Guisborough, set up a Young Enterprise business to address their concerns.
And their company, Whose Life is it Anyway?, has won the North-East Regional Finals of the Young Enterprise Competition in Newcastle.
Their teacher, Leslie Currie, said "They had to stand up in front of 280 business people and talk about their Sex Box - intimidating by anyone's standards. They beat stiff competition - but their enthusiasm and unique product helped them to win."
They will now represent the region at the national finals to be held in London in July, where they will be up against 11 other regions.
The eleven students are: Rianna Atkins, Olivia Fletcher, Thomas Fleming, Abby Foreman, Katie Greene, Tristan Leonard, Ben McGoohan, Adam Mendum, Alex Oyston, Andrew Towler, Seth Uden.
